For years we said we created value
for Oman. In 2025 we proved it.
In November 2025, IBN HAYAN Chartered Accountants independently verified ABRAJ's in-country value contribution, making us the first company in Oman to receive the National ICV Certificate. The certification recognises our contribution across local employment, procurement, SME development, and community investment.
This achievement was followed by the MAJD Award for Best Local Content Programme, reinforcing the measurable impact of our commitment to Oman.
We do not just operate in these communities. We belong to them.
ABRAJ’s roots are in the communities of Oman’s interior, including Adam, Ibri, Haima, Nizwa, and Sur. Through local partnerships and community investment, we support the places where our people live and work. In 2025, we invested OMR 150,000 across 21 community projects, becoming the first company in Oman to have this commitment independently certified.
Community ImpactSix categories. Twenty-one projects. One shared purpose.
Education & Future Talent
Education is central to ABRAJ’s community programme. In 2025, we supported student and talent development initiatives, strengthening the Omani talent pipeline and our 93% Omanisation rate.
“Investing in young minds today is the most direct path to Oman’s energy independence tomorrow.”

ABRAJ supported six talent and youth empowerment initiatives in 2025, including SME development, university programmes, commercial excellence, recycling and vocational training, and support for persons with disabilities and the visually impaired. These initiatives promote Omani entrepreneurship, skills development, and inclusion.
Environment
In 2025, ABRAJ supported the Young Explorers programme with the Environment Society of Oman and delivered an environmental curriculum to primary schools. These initiatives help children understand biodiversity, conservation, and the importance of protecting Oman’s desert.
“The best thing ABRAJ can do for the desert is teach the generation to love it.”
